~Our Review~
The first book in this series introduced us to Travis as Jules's best friend and past lover. What He Really Feels kicks off right around the time that his heart was stomped on and he decides to move in with a friend in San Diego to get a fresh start and hopefully get over Jules once and for all. 

Yes, Jules did a number on him and even though I didn't think they belonged together, I still hated the way she behaved. What she did was awful ...and while he should've known better, she was not blameless.

So Trav...I hate to say it, but that boy seriously needs to get his balls out of the jar that he put them in to give to Jules and man up. If he's not being a total player and hooking up with random women, he is whining and not really dealing with anything...for anybody that he currently has the feels for. I really had a hard time liking him as a person, after I initially really felt bad for him because he continually lets Jules and her long time hold on him dictate his actions and life.

I wanted to like Travis so much more than I did. He was so mopey and could not seem to quit dwelling on Jules and what happened. Don't get me wrong, he earned the pity party...to an extent but at some point I wanted to slap him out of it.

When the Gorgeous girl walks into his life he starts to be sort of better. He is moving on, sort of fast, but okay...I can believe it. He is a grand gesture kind of guy so I loved the romance and how far he will go to prove he is deserving of a second, or fifth chance with his girl! 

Yes, Gorgeous turned his head and his heart in a hot second and then he could not let the idea of her go. He's hopeless when he thinks he'll never see her again and then he's euphoric when he does..and then he continues to muck it up..again and again. I facepalmed several times during this read. 

What I am not thrilled with is the end....okay..the last sentence. Shee-it. Not even in the least little bit. It will definitely take a lot of coaxing to get me to delve back into the train wreck that are these people for the third time so I personally, and not to be a hater, will have to read a few reviews after it comes out before I will give it a go. :( But for this story, the writing was solid, and I enjoyed it, but unfortunately not quite as much as the first book! Agreed, Courtney. The ending of book 2 was a surprise and I just don't know how much story these characters have...will be interesting to see.

Where to find How He Really Feels: 

Our Review:
So Julianne has the hugest crush EVER on her hot boss, Nick...and I do not blame her. He hits all of the important points--smart, sexy, looks hot in a suit, and a genuinely nice guy (who is not too nice). She spends an entire year trying to figure out ways to be in his presence without being too obvious..but everyone on her team at work is sooo aware of her crush...except him. Or IS he aware?? Hmmm. By the year's end, they've shared some looks, moments, lunches, and laughs...and so Julianne decides that this new year WILL be the year she is brave and makes something happen.

I always find it fun to read stories about people who are looking for their special someone and the antics that some of these ladies get up to to get their guy. Since it's something I have absolutely no experience with it whatsoever I find it hilarious, but I'm sure it is not quite so funny when you're in those shoes! Nick starts out as quite the swoon worthy guy, but of course reality sets in and some weird behaviors starts! 

One fortunate New Year's night midnight ritual and they are quickly submersed in a very secret relationship. If you are anything like me, you are probably very suspicious of a secret relationship. What's he hiding from her? Is there another woman? Is this really about a work contractual issue--or something else? See--I'm so NOT trusting and I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. Well...the other shoe did drop, just not the shoe I expected...and definitely not the way I expected. Their whirlwind romance was sweet and perfect (outside of the secrecy, of course,) and just when I was flying to the happily ever after ending, the rollercoaster ride began and there were several times I thought I was going to have to fling myself off of it because GAH! the ride got quite bumpy for a while. Between Nick's work contract, Travis, and even Julianne my emotions ran the gamut of anger, sadness, anxious, and happy...and then hit repeat several times before you get to the end and you have an accurate depiction my emotional state.


Between the two of us I am actually shocked, between the texts that were flying and the feelings that I was experiencing, that we didn't actually fling a device of some sort across the room. O.M.G. Bad choice after bad choice, on both of their parts, though mostly Julianne-- and I was ready to strangle someone! Okay, mostly Julianne! I really enjoyed a lot of them getting to know each other, but it took a lot for me to feel any sort of redeeming qualities in Julianne after the things she does to Travis, but after everything that goes down I suppose she suffered a great deal too...still gave me palpitations..gah.

 Despite the bumps along the way, I truly enjoyed the ride and would definitely recommend you hop on it too! It's a super quick read and there is absolutely no cliffhanger. Yes! It was very enjoyable, but I definitely cannot wait to read the next book What He Really Feels to see where her friends go from here!
